Yeah exactly. You could make the same argument (sales pitch?) for the equus or whatever that pile of dog shit was called. I think I've only ever seen like two of them IRL; not exactly a roaring success.Quote:

Yes it does. Someone just took the stock image of the G80 and photoshopped quad head lights and tail lights and a bigger grille. They butchered it big time. Not sure why anyone would give any thought to posting that on their website.Quote:

However, for payment buyers, this could be a good option, instead of $2K plus a month .. probably just $1,500 or 1,200 ..
"Pedigree"
Hilarious. With parts from China and an engine manufactured in Mexico lol.
Instead with these the value will have dropped so far after 3 years you won’t be able to sell it :rofl:Quote:

I for one look forward to buying it, used for $20gQuote:

That being said, I found two on kijiji and auto trader. A 2019 with 150km on it (demo?) for $75k and a 2017 with 40,000 km on it for $55k. They do depreciate like a mofo.

Thats true of any luxury oriented vehicle. We used to call the BMW 6 series the "depreciation king" when I worked at Bentley. Guys would try to trade in a few year old M6 and we couldnt even offer them a 1/4 of its value. 7 series, S class, CLS etc... all drop like a rock. I looked at the S500's when I was shopping and I took the G90 based on comfort, reliability and 5yr/100k service included. Im the black sheep in this chat lol but Im happy with my car and have been very happy with the Genesis experience overall.Quote:

I think the long-term reliability on a lot of these new Hyundai's is yet to be seen, but if you don't keep it past 4-5 years then it's irrelevant anyway due to the warranty (unless you're that one guy with a Genesis 5.0 from the other thread haha).Quote:

89coupe was selling his 5 year 7 series for $35K or something. $135K new. I'm going to buy a corolla next. :)Quote:

I more identify with the Genesis brand. Genesis has technically only been on its own for a few years but Hyundai reliability overall is very good. Ive clocked some good mileage in the brand and when I wanted a boat sized sedan, I naturally looked into the G90 based on my years in Genesis. Ive worked for Ferrari and for Bentley and a lot of the customers used to have S class, 7 series, Mas QP and other luxury sedans as part of their daily driver fleet. I was always surprised by the frequency of issues and lack of service/support when these issues arose. My dream car is still the Merc S65 but I just wanted to avoid the nightmares associated with these cars. You can get them for cheap but the average 5k/yr to keep them on the road does not interest me. I love the Alpina B7 but we sold a few of them and had them in our shop more than the owners had them in their garages.
As you said, maybe after 5 years this car will crumble and fall apart at the seams. I just found that Merc and BMW are known to be nightmares after warranty and they are well aware of that and dont attempt to hide from it or dispute it. Genesis still has a LOT to prove (as seen in this thread) so maybe they will be the one that steps up and makes a luxury class vehicle that lasts. My experience has been excellent from day one and thats why I drive the "90k Hyundai" lol.
You bet they do. But I believe that the next few years will be a pivotal moment for the brand. As their SUV line up gets fleshed out, I think they will be successful. Perhaps a few less F-Pace, Q5, X3, XC60 on the road and more GV70/80/possible 90.Quote:
